  This does not contradict what I said. If you use conscious thought as a tool, like deliberately using third person, this can change your perception of your self. I am talking about the usual thoughts you have that are unprompted. I feel like the article is not disagreeing with me on that necessarily. There are also experiments that support that idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjCt-L0Ph5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjCt-L0Ph5o

  >Many of your thoughts are formed as you speak, there is even evidence that talking to yourself in third-person helps you stay more calmer and objective. Talking to yourself in third-person means having switched into thinking of yourself as some third party which can itself affect subsequent thoughts/talking, so this doesn't contradict what the parent says.

    If the exact "thought" already existed before consciously running through them, it should not change with the language you use, but I don't believe that is the case, not only talking about yourself in third-person affects your thought, the link between language and thought goes much deeper, even if the specific of it is fairly contentious. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity
